Carob liqueur is an alc. drink (min. 15% volume/volume of ethanol and 100 g/L of sugar) typical for the Mediterranean countries. In the current work, carob macerate produced by maceration of carob pods in hydroalcoholic base at different maceration conditions was characterized for the first time based on its aroma compounds/profile, physicochem. parameters, and chromatic characteristics. The results confirm the migration process of bioactive compounds, aroma compounds, and sugars flowing from the carob pod to the hydroalcoholic base. Changes in ethanol concentration modify the phys. properties of the solvent and influence the phenolic and aroma compounds extraction, color, and acidity of the obtained samples. The higher content of phenolic compounds was determinate in the samples obtained in the darkness. The amounts of phenols were in the range of some red fruit liqueurs or walnut liqueurs, and sugars (mostly sucrose) ranging between 96 and 107 g/L. Twenty-six (out of total 94) aroma compounds were detected in all samples, of which 17 esters, 3 alcs., 4 ketones, and 2 acids. Low mol. weight Et esters, Et hexanoate, Et 2-Me propanoate, Et octanoate, Et benzoate, Et butanoate, and Et cinnamate, were the most abundant. Carob pod maceration in 50% volume/volume hydroalcoholic base (1:5 solid to liquid ratio) in darkness at room temperature during 8 wk can be recommended as optimal maceration conditions for production of the aromatic carob macerate with functional properties.
